AIM 

To investigate the effectiveness of a proprioceptive training regimen

combined with kinesiotaping to improve balance in spastic diplegic childrens.

OBJECTIVE

1)     To analyze balance in spastic diplegic children’s using peadiatric balance scale.

  2)     To improve balance in spastic diplegic children’s by proprioceptive training regimen combined with kinesiotaping using pediatric balance scale.

  3)     To enhance balance in children with spastic diplegia, a 4 week protocol combining proprioceptive training and kinesiotaping was implemented, assessed using the pediatric balance scale.

Procedure

 1.     All participants will be screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

           2.     A written informed consent will be taken from their parents.

           3.     Demographic information will be collected of all participants.

          4.     GMFCS will be administered and only Level 1 and Level 2  Cerebral Palsy children will             be selected

         5.     Modified ashworth scale will be taken for assesing spasticity in gastrosoleus muscle  &               pediatric balance score to assess balance in participant pre intervention

         6.     Implement proprioceptive training regimen combined with tapping (4 week interventions

        7.     MAS will be taken for assesing spasticity in gastrosoleus muscle  & pediatric balance                  score to assess balance in participant  post  intervention

         8.     The collected data will be analyzed by using statistical tests and results will be generated 

      Intervention 

1. Children having 6-12 years of age and who were clinically diagnosed with Spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were included in the study.
2. Prior consent was taken from their respective guardians and all their concerns and queries were respectfully answered.
3. The warm-up phase will last for 5 min and include the following exercises, each session lasted 40 min and followed the list of  6 exercises that we recommended in the exact order they are listed, from 1 to 6, starting with ,         Taping protocol (5 Min)
